Just a reminder, use git instead of making backup files.

Delete the index.html and problem solved.
Another case, as you seem to give out a link with index.* it can be good
to use the apache rewrite module to redirect those who try to access the
index.html file directly, in your .htaccess you could have something
like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /index.php [L]
Haven't tested it, so in worst case you need to make some tiny changes.

You maybe want to look at a CMS and just make a theme for it and then
add on your own plugins to do things you want it to do and no one else
has already done, then you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
